it came up with the clinton administration with welfare reform, but to understand where republicans are coming to, at least the run are republicans in congress these days, it's important to understand how real, how important it is that their views, that government infringes on personal liberty almost no matter what it expose that it fosters dependency among the population. but those convictions, those views, were an obstacle, even to having a conversation between asset of state and the secretary of defense under george bush, a real conversation about whether or not the invasion in iraq should take place or the country should do more by way of sanctions and other forms of pressure. the interesting thing to me about what happened in iraq, here's something i got completely wrong. when the president in december of '06 basically asked -- he lost control of congress, decided to do a surge in iraq, people like me thought, well, this is stupid. iraq is going really badly. really, really badly. this is just an effort to delay the day of reckoning. we have to have a different strategy. what i did

so there was the clinton impeachment. you can go on both sides. you can see how there is this back-and-forth, but i argue in the book. like gerrymandering, you know, you did this to me. i'm going to get you, but it is not as deep or is important as this inability in the 21st century for us to keep in balance these two parts of the american psyche, and i think, although i don't try to deal with them. i do believe that the anxiety that comes, especially for a man , along about of stagnation for the middle-class has a lot to do with why people are ineffective to an argument, makers and takers here. and there are people who are basically taking things from the government that they don't deserve. and in the 2012 election what happened was that was the most explicit contrast between self-reliance and brought it together which was one thing i was going to say. the obama's beach. if you look at that speech, that is absolutely a continuation of the campaign theme. this is a complicated world. we're better together. we have big challenges, but we have got t

[laughter] >> you mentioned race, racist, sexist, capitalist, all evil. what about islamaphobs. we stayed away from that, but yet, what would you recommend that reasonable people do so that our government officials will be willing to discuss or attempt to understand the underlying ideology? >> i think what we ought to do is people
